Absolutely, if your child is inquisitive and finds learning fun. I have ordered it for three of our grandchildren, and they have enjoyed it.

Absolutely perfect for that age group. That is the age of the young person I got mine for and it proves to be very educational. Add additional items like "Little Passports" and then it all ties together.

We gave this to our 3 year old grandson and he adores it and has learned a lot about many countries. I definately think the 5 year old will really enjoy it.

I believe it will be just perfect for them, and they'll get quite a few years worth of play on it. My grandson is 5 , loves it!

Yes for up to about an 8 year old. Gave as a gift don't have it here to measure. Hope that helps.

I don't think the weight would be a problem with an 8 year old, but his or her legs will be too long I think. But it is PERFECT for 2-4 maybe 5 year old.

I'm not sure as it is not currently together. It's a good size but not as large as a traditional globe. Hope that helps!

I would say probably not. I have rather close-spaced eyes, I believe, and use them about as close-together as they'll go. For a smaller child, you'd probably be better off with something made specifically for children.

I think it would be a bit much for your 5 year old grandson, it has been quite a learning curve for me and challenging. it is also quite fragile. hope this helps.

It would probably be too small for a 5 year old. Our granddaughter started using it at 18 months old.

I personally believe it is a little small for the 8yr old, but great for the 6 and 5 yr old.

Yes, I think it's probably too small for an 8 year old. I have a 3 and 4 years old grandchildren and they are just about too big for it. Hope this helps...

I agree with the poster below... It's a great toy for a five year old, but I believe an 8 year old will be bored after five minutes. It doesn't have a huge amout of features beyond the three voice options and four barbie songs. The Barbie microphone and amplifier would be better for an eight year old, though more expensive.

Yes, it is appropriate. I purchased the set for a 10 year old and she loved it

I would say it is good for 2/3-8 year olds. My girls are 2 and 4 and love it.

As there are many small parts and modeling glus is used, I would beleive it is for children at least 10 years old. My 8 year old struggled with many aspects of the build. This is not a "quick" model to build and takes time.

Honestly I'm not sure but it would be too small for a 5 year old. It's not very big.

Yes it is perfect for Children 5 to 13. It is not a toy and has metal strings.
